    I know covid is associated with weird clotting issues, I’d bet money that combined with the “adjustment” contributed to the stroke. If any of the story is true ofc

        Can also happen at the hair stylist (crazy crazy rare), the chair they wash your hair in puts strain on the neck in a similar fashion to a chiropractic ‘adjustment’.

        I get migraines after a hair appointment. Thought for years it was from the chemicals in the hair products. After a discussion with my physio about my migraines, he suggested not having my hair washed for the same reason he rants about chiropractors. Next appointment, I arranged to arrive with my hair already washed and still damp - no migraine after. (I quite like the stylist that allowed this for me, she told me she now suggests to her clients who get migraines after having their hair done they do the same, hopefully with similar results as me.)

      Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn’t make him less of one if so.

          As far as I know she’s cool and calls him out, but due to my entertainment choices (various podcasts calling out or making fun of grifters) I haven’t really looked into her.

      My wife’s best friend is a nurse, before covid she told me that she had four patients that suffered a stroke after visiting a chiropractor. Back pain can be awful. I’ve known a couple of people who who were helped by them.
